Specication of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 15, i910.

Application led April 15, 1908. Serial No. 427,134.

To all who/mit may concern:

Be it known that I', EMILE BAPTISTE MRI- comi, a citizen of the Republic of France. re-

` to the method p' curve of the felly of the wheel and is of more siding at Paris, in France, have invented new and useful Improvements in Resilient Tires, of which the following is a specification. l

-This invention relates to improvements in resilient tires comprising resilient elements and' metallic elements. y

The said improvements relate particularly of connecting the resilient elements with the metallic lelements by which they are connected to the felly of the Wheel.

In the annexed' drawing an example of construct-ion of the improvements is shown in Which- Fi urel is a lon itudinal sectional view of the tire and felly showing the strip or metallic element in elevation. Fig. 2 is a plan vieu' of the strip or metallic element detached.

It is of importance to form the metallic element in sucha manner that it has sunk portions or cavities Which, When'the molding is done, the hard rubber fills up, so thatsaid hard rubber becomes intimately connected to the metallic element.

In Fig; l, the metallic element is formed of a metal sheet or plate a, curved to the or less length at least equal to the length of the elasticl element which it is to receive; this sheet is cut and punched out at intervals so as to form a series of bridges b preferably arranged in staggered relation on the surface of the plate a, as shown in Fig. 2. The indiarubber element is molded on the pla-te on that side on Which are the projecting bridges ZJ, as shown in Fi .4 1. When molding the rubbergfpenetrates eneath the bridges b and the metallic element is consequentlyintimately connected with. the rubber element.

1. A rubber tire attaching device comprisin an element adapted to be partly embe ded in and to lie against vthe 'inner periphery of the tire and provided with a plu` rality of looped portions providing horizontal and vertically disposed openings for entran'ceof the rubber. 2. A rubber tire attaching device comprising an element adapted to be embedded in and lie against the inner periphery of the tire.and providing 'a metal strip provided with integrally formed looped portions longitudinally disposed with respect to the strip and affording horizontal and vertically Advisposed openings for entrance of. the rubber.

3. A rubber tire attaching device comprising a metallic strip adapted to be embedded in and lying against the inner periphery of the'ntire'and provided with a plurality of roivs of integrally formed outwardly pro- Ajectingloops5 the loops of adjacent rows being arranged in staggered relation, vthe formation of said loops providing horizontal andv vertically 'disposed openings for entrance of .the rubber.

In testimony whereof I afliX my signature Vin presencey of two Witnesses.
